And fix a test failure in the sandbox due to /home existing on Darwin but not being accessible in the sandbox since it's a symlink to /System/Volumes/Data/home, see https://github.com/NixOS/nix/actions/runs/4205378453/jobs/7297384658#step:6:2127: C++ exception with description "error: getting status of /home/schnitzel/darmstadt/pommes: Operation not permitted" thrown in the test body. On Linux this wasn't a problem because there /home doesn't exist in the sandbox (cherry picked from commit be48907)
This does pathExists on various paths, which crashes on EPERM in the macOS sandbox. (cherry picked from commit b7cde90)
(cherry picked from commit a6c78ba)

Thank you for the quick merge! May I ask what the ETA for cutting a maintenance release with this change is likely to be, as currently anyone using Home Manager on Darwin with the sandbox enabled gets a confusing error? |

Despite the title of #8240, it fixes a regression caused by #8062 that broke running Nix inside sandboxed Nix builds on macOS. This leads to an obscure error activating Home Manager configurations due to the documentation generator, so I think backporting this is important (as 2.16 hasn't yet reached
pkgs.nixand 2.15 will be used on the stable branches for even longer). I've verified that the Home Manager documentation builds correctly after applying this PR.Fixes #8485.
